Wrangell-St Elias Water Lilies 1

During my recent trip to Wrangell-St Elias National Park, I spent several days in a row photographing my favorite tundra pond. Eventually I will post several spectacular sunrise images from this location, but for now I want to share these beautiful lilies. I am best know for my dramatic wild-angle landscape images, but I also enjoy photographing nature’s details when the opportunity presents itself. While I was waiting for dramatic light on the mountains, these lilies and blue sky reflection caught my attention. I normally look for groups that contain odd numbers, but these 4 lilies in a broken circle inspired me to bend the rules.
